"20,000 acres of cropland flooded in the Salinas Valley--which accounts for roughly 80 percent of the nation’s vegetable production from April to early July, are expected to lead to product shortages and high markets in the spring" #inflation #vegetables #shortages #climate #floods #CAwx theproducenews.com/headlines/s

@ai6yr The article says: "Monterey County records show the Salinas Valley has roughly 450,000 plantable vegetable acres. " The 20,000 acres flooded quite likely are highly productive lowlands, but do not account for 80% of production.

@Gaythia Hopefully the rest of that acreage not as highly impacted!
